Error: Access violation at 0x7792785B (tried to write to 0x00EE0FFC), program terminated.

If you see this screen when trying to open zMUD in Vista then you should run zMUD as an administrator.
This is done by right-clicking the zMUD icon and selecting 'Run as Administrator'

It's also possible to tell Vista to always run zMUD as an Administrator.
To do this:
- Browse to the folder you installed zMUD into (probably C:\Program Files\zMUD)
- Right-click on zMUD.exe and select 'Properties' from the menu that appears.
- In the box that appears, click the 'Compatibility' tab at the top
- Now check the box that says 'Run this program as an administrator'

Click Apply, and OK

This happens because of the Vista 'User Access Control' feature and occurs even if the user you're using has admin rights. One way to prevent this is to disable UAC (something Microsoft doesn't recommend).

I am a Wizard for a MUD, and I write code offline and paste into the zMUD command bar on Vista (I run it as Administrator in C:\Program Files). I sometimes paste up to 1,000 lines at a time, but usually only up to 500. Sometimes I get this error at the very moment I paste my text into the bar. If this occurs, I start getting the error often until I completely close/open zMUD again. I simply kill the program from Task Manager and this has never been more than just annoying.

Another error that will pop up seems to come out of nowhere and causes a loop of error alert pop-ups. Again, I can usually get to Task Manager to kill it, so it's just annoying sometimes.

So long as I know it's just an issue between zMUD and Vista, I'm fine. I plan to try getting used to CMUD once I install Win7 on my new HDD for this laptop. =) I was hoping for some kludgy quick-fix in the meantime. I already bought CMUD but couldn't take the time to get accustomed to it back when I bought it.
